Belly Laughs!

Just when you thoughts things were going just as planned..

THINGS CHANGE. My last blog entry I said Karter was putting himself to sleep. Well that lasted about 3 days. We started sleep training and are Ferberizing him. The first night went a lot better than I anticipated. The longest bout was an hour from 2:30 to 3:30 the first night. He only cried 3 mins for his morning nap. I will keep you posted on his progress but for now I am a happy mom. Thank you Maslowsky's, Kollarus's, Melly, Today, and Sarah for all your support! I couldn't have done it without you.

Craig and I went to Monica's wedding Sat night and we had a blast! Karter stayed with Grandpa Joe and Nana. Aunt Sandy and Mare got to meet Karter for the first time.

Milestones

Last week Karter started to grab and reach for his toys. He's been "talking" more and more lately and squeals in delight and excitement.

He'll only sleep in his crib during nap time (no more swing naps!) and is finally on a set schedule which gives me almost 6 hours of sleep!

All my parenting bookstalk about how important it is for babies to put them self to sleep - meaning put them in their crib while they're still awake and they should be able to fall asleep on their own without rocking, bouncing or patting. I never thought Karter would be able to... BUT just recently he has been!!
